Hi I'm Bob and I have chickens.
Not many. 16 currently. I bought a house and 4 acres last year with my fiance and son. The house came with a chicken coop and 7 chickens including 1 rooster. The chickens were free ranged.
After a few months of being owners of chickens, we bought 8 more chickens and then a few months later we hatched 4 more chickens!
I know what you're saying. "Bob those numbers don't add up to 16. And sadly you're right. We have lost a couple chickens. Two were hit by cars on the road and one just plain went missing. We actually had two go missing but then one day after several days of missing, returned.
We didn't know Jack and still don't know diddly about raising chickens but doing our best. I've been trying to make the food and watering of the chickens as easy as possible. Even built this elaborate watering system in their coop only to have the darn chicken nipples fail and ruin the entire thing.
In the spring I'm going to be moving the chickens from their current very old coop to a much more modern corner of a modified animal barn. I'm also planning on making a decent sized run/corral for them off the barn and plan on asking questions for that in abither thread.
Until then howdy from Ohio.
